FIVE FIRES.
Minneapolis Incendiaries Getting
in Their Work.


Shortly after midnight Minneapolis
was treated to sensation in the
way of five successive fire alarms,
and for two hours there was
a scene of excitement ON the
streets. The apparatus of the fire
department was flying back and forth,
while the bells of nearly every engine
house were ringing. The first alarm
was from box Ii at 1920, Occasioned
by a lamp explosion over saloon on
Tenth avenue south, between Second
street and Washington avenue south,
A woman named Christine Ecklund, ~
years old, was terribly burned about the
taken to st. Barnaba's hospital
and her injuries attended to as quickly
as possible. 1t is thought, however,
that she will die. The sec
Ond alarm was from box
PIT, Occasioned by the burn
ing of the cigar store of f. Went
worth, 2016 Twelfth avenue south. The
flames were readily eXtinguished,
and the damage amounts to
5000. Fifteen minutes later came
an alarm from the Minneapolis & st.
Louis car shops at Cedar Lake, three
miles north of the city hall.
The flames Lit up the hori-
ION, and indications are that the
fire is an extensive one. From the
best information Obtainable the flames
at 2 o'clock were confined to
the blacksmith shop. No estimate of
losses could be obtained. Shortly after
1 O'Clock came the fourth alarm, which
was turned in by Officer Anderson from
box rs, who discovered the wOodshed
at the rear of the residence of A. M.
Reid, corner Nicollet avenue and Tenth
street, to be in flames. The de-
partment responded promptly, not
withstanding the previous calls, and
within thirty minutes had the fire prac-
tically out. The wOOdshed and kitchen
were partially destroyed. The loss,
amounts to about 81 900 which is covered
by insurance. The impression prevails at
this hour that the fires were started by
incendiaries. Mayor Ames was on hand
and summoning a detail of day
patrolmen from their beds, had them
provided with muskets and cartridges
and stationed at the milling dis
trict, Sixth avenue north, at
the river where the sawmilIs
are located at the Pillsbury A mill,
Tenth avenue south and First street,
Fourth street northeast and Third
avenue. The report from the Min
neapOliS & st. Louis car shops
at 2:30 is that the blacksmith shop and
car shop were burned and the loss
will be $4,000. AT $50 o'clock the
fifth alarm was turned in from the Hotel
ArdmOre, Oh Nicollet avenue.

NOT PUSSY ENOUGH.

A Philadelphia exchange says that
Philadelphia has almost as big a real
estate boom as st. Paul, but is not max
ing as much fuss about it. That is what
is the matter with Philadelphia. 1t
doesn't make fuss enough. 1t is not
much of a compliment to city 200 years
old and with three-quarters of million
population, to say that it has boom
almost equal to a young Western
city scarcely a generation old. The
compliment is all on the side of
st. Paul. And it is just this
Western style of making fuss
about things that has given the new
Western cities the lead of their anti
quated neighbors of the East. If Phila-
delphia was little more fussy it would
be a good deal bigger town than it is,
and might become, not only almost, but
altogether equal to st. Paul.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Hon. Star Route w. DORSEY has
named the next Republican ticket. He
says it will be BLAINE and FAIRcHILD,
and that the ticket will be nominated
by reclamation. He attributes BLAINE'S
defeat the last time to the misfortune of
miSmanagement, which he assures the
public will not occur again. This is
dig in the fifth rib to Hon. Mr.. EIKINs.
~
Speaking of ELKINs reminds one of
the fact that he is probably the most
thoroughly Bohemianized politician in
the country. He is a citizen of New
Mexico, New York, Maryland and West
Virginia, according to the political
emergency. He owns a cattle ranch
and some silver mines in New Mexico.
and on the strength of these possessions
represented the territory i'll congress.
He has bank in New York, a cottage
in Maryland and a coal mine in West
Virginia. When he was running
BLAINE'S canvass into the ground in
1884 he was citizen of New York.
When he was trying to work his father
in-law, ex-senator HENRY q. DAVIS,
into Cleveland'S cabinet, he was citi-
zen of Maryland. And when he was
trying to get himself elected to the
United States senate he was citizen of
West Virginia.
The friends of ex-senator Camden at
tribute his recent defeat in the West
Virginia legislature to the interference
of Mr.. ELKINs. A number of the Re-
publican members of the legislature
were disposed to break to CAMDEN on
the ground that his tariff record pleased
them better than that of the other Dem
cratic candidates. When Mr.. ELKINs
got wind of it he made rush for the
state capitol and whipped the Republi-
cans back into harness. 1t turns out
that it was part of ELKINs' scheme to
prolong the deadlock until he could win
enough Democratic votes with the aid
of the Republican members to elect
himself senator.

AT SPOTTsYLVANIA.
A Tablet Dedicated to Gen.
SedSewick's Memory.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, May 12.-The
visiting members of the Sixth army
corps went from here this morning to
Spottsylvania court house, to ded-
icate tablet to the memory of the
late Gen. Sedgewick. At the battle
field they were welcomed and warmly
greeted by a large gathering of Virgin
lans, including many eX-COnfederateS
The opening address was delivered by
Gen. H. e. Wright. The following let
ter was read:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
April %. My Dear Sir: | have to-day
received an invitation ON behalf of the
Sedgewick Memorial association, to at
tend, on the 18th of May next, the
dedication of monument which
shall mark the spot where Mai. Gen.
Sedgewick was killed. The patriotic
sentiment and devotion which erect
among the busy throngS of life imposing
monuments in memory of those who
died in battle, supply proof of that love
and appreciation of our soldier dead
which is deeply interviewer as
a part of our national life. But
when the ground is marked and
set apart where in valOrOus fights the
blood was shed and the sacrifice of life
was made which preserved us nation,
love their country may devoutly
worship. Elaborate shafts of mar
BILE fittingly remind US of our soldier
dead, and of their bravery and
patriotism, but the touching service
your association cOntempIateS shall
chasten all our thoughts of them by
pointing out on sacred ground the spot
where blood was bravely shed and life
was periodically offered up. With
thanks to the association for
their remembrance at this time,
and regretting that official duties will
prevent my acceptance of the invitation
rendered me, am, yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Hon. John G. Rogers, chairman of
committee.
The memorial tablet was unveiled.
The monument is of Quincy granite,
approximately pyramidal in form. nine
feet in height and five feet five inches
square at the base and surmounted by
cross. Gen. j. w. Lolita delivered the
memorial address, and was followed by
eX-Goy. Pingree, of Vermont. Dinner
spread in the woods followed the exer-
ciSeS.

PRESS OPINIONS.
a Murder Was Committed:

.aiiiNIcW 4NS"''
Mead to-day walks the streets a free
man, as the saying goes. Comments
upon such a case are hardly necessary.
The Judgment of the jury in such case
does not remove his guilt. The practice
of carving concealed weapons is as com
mon almost as that of carrying time
niece. 1t should be deprecated and
sqarded against. Such weapon in the
bands of sober man is dangerous
enough, and it becomes doubly so in the
clutch of one whose mind is half-craZed
with liquor. If our laws were more
Sttingently enforced with respect to
''little things" there would not be so
MANY big ones to look after. In such
cases as the above defense can find
plenty of palliating circumstances, but
Tire fact remains on record that in
drunken frenzy murder was commit
ted, and from it one may draw such
lessons as suit our inclinations. Society
expects punishment of given crime
I'M such manner that the same crime
shall not act as an incentive to a second
one. In the present case one can but
feel greatful to the kind providence who
returns Mr.. Mead to his family, but at
The same time we ask ourselves what has
society done to prevent repetition of
this crime under similar circumstances?

CHERRY WAR;"
Carleton's Successful Revival of
This Romantic Waltz Onera.

AhAS ItOAidhIiC w dltZ opera.
"Merry War; is bright, sparkling
opera, the music and action being full
of that waltZ-like movement which
characteriZeS all of the compositions of
its famous author The libretto is a
clever construction of humorous plot.
The music and lines together give fine
opportunity for the exhibition of the
best qualities of a combination of good
vocaliZatiOn and hiStrionic talent. The
initial production of revival of this old
opera by the Carleton opera company
at the Grand last night was
as SmOth performance as one ever sees
on the first night. There was every
evidence of a thorough rehearsal, each
member being we'll up in his or her part.
and not single break occurred during
the entire performance. Barringa slight
diScord on the part OF the orchestra
once or twice in the iirSt act there was
nothing to Indicate that it was a trial
performance. The audience, which was
better than the proceeding nights and
remarkably large for an intensely warm
evening, was disposed to be critical
from the beginning. The strlctest
attention was paid to each
detail of the performance.
and in each instance where applause
was elected it was won by genuine
merit. The hearty demonstration of
approval which was bestowed as the
opera progressed was the decided indi-
cation that the production was sue
cess. The leading parts were taken by
the principals, each of whom inter
pretcd his or her respective part so
uccessfully that it would almost be
invidiouS to mention names. OF course
the leading part Gen SDinOa WAS

1t is the custom of some of our weekly
papers to laud the great dailieS to the
skies simply because they succeed in
getting out a big boom edition, or be-
because the Associated Press has been
generous in its amount of news gather
ing, 1t is far easier for them to get
out daily edition than for weekly to
get out theirs. Capital, backed by all
the paraphernalia necessary to issue a
paper, is at their command, while the
editor of frontier sheet does all the
work himself in most cases, and never
knowing news item unless he chances
to run it down. Does he receive any
laudation from the metropolitan press?
We think not.

New ORLEANS, May 12.-The grand
division of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors is holding its ninth annual
session at Grunewald hall, this city.
The report of Grand Chief Con-

insurance laws and resolutions, all of
which were referred to the appropriate
committees. The session of the conven-

Two Styles of Damnation.

The evangelist, Sam Small, is jealous
of Bernhardt, who, according to Small,
is damning souls. 1t is sad fact, how
ever, that the average human nature
would rather be damned by the attract
i've Bernhard methods, than saved by
the atrociOuS methods of Small; And,
on second thought, the average human
nature is not to be greatly blamed for
it's preference.

ing may not have been intentional, there
is no doubt that crime was committed.
